Explanation of Solution
In a loanable fund market, if capital inflow increases, then the money supply will increase the loanable fund market. The supply curve will shift towards the right.
Supply curve of loanable funds: It refers to the relationship between the quantities of loanable funds supplied with respect to the interest rate.
b.
The effect on the demand or supply curve for the loanable fund market if businesses are pessimist about the future.
b.
Explanation of Solution
If businesses are pessimistic about future growth, then they will not do expansions and will require less money. Thus, demand for loanable funds will decrease shifting the demand curve towards the left.
Supply curve of loanable funds: It refers to the relationship between the quantities of loanable funds supplied with respect to the interest rate.
c.
The effect on demand or supply curve for the loanable fund market if government borrowings are increased.
c.
Explanation of Solution
If a government increases the borrowings, then the demand for loanable funds will increase. This increase will shift the demand curve towards the right.
Demand curve of loanable funds: It refers to the relationship between the quantities of loanable funds demanded with respect to the interest rate.
d.
The effect on the demand or supply curve for the loanable fund market if the private savings rate decreases.
d.
Explanation of Solution
If the private saving rates are decreased, then people will spend more and save less. This will reduce the lending capacity of the bank and it will lead to shifting the supply curve towards the left.
Supply curve of loanable funds: It refers to the relationship between the quantities of loanable funds supplied with respect to the interest rate.

- After the holiday season, many of us find ourselves thinking, “What will I do with another case for my iPad?” Often, both the gift giver and gift receiver could be made better off (that is, receive a higher level of utility or happiness) if cash had been given instead. To understand the economic rationale behind this, economists turn to the basic consumer theory model of budget constraints and indifference curves. Recall that an indifference curve maps out all possible consumption bundles of goods that yield the same level of utility to a given consumer. Indifference curves tell us nothing about what we can afford, but rather tell us how happy a particular bundle will make us. On the other hand, a budget constraint shows the consumption bundles that we can buy given our income and the prices of goods. Similarly, a budget constraint says nothing about what we would like to buy, but rather what we can afford. Suppose you consume only two types of goods: magazines and food. You have $300…arrow_forwardCho is a truck driver living in Miami who performs freelance health consulting to supplement her normal income. At an hourly wage rate of $45, she is willing to consult 5 hours per week. Upping the wage to $65 per hour, she is willing to consult 14 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Cho’s labor supply between the wages of $45 and $65 per hour is approximately , which means that Cho’s supply of labor over this wage range is .arrow_forwardWhere do I draw the demand and supply linearrow_forward
